Patients enjoy:

This new approach to wellness is kinder and more realistic; it's less regimented, less quantified, anti self-denial, pro self-care and about being easier on yourself as an individual. It challenges the 'sterile elite-ness' of the fitness world, breaking down its closed-off mood by making it all-inclusive, no matter what your gender, age, race, orientation or ability. 

Textiles are created by either impregnating healthful compounds into fibres through micro-encapsulation, adding before the extrusion into a filament, or impregnating into coatings that transfer to the skin via movement and warmth.

Potential benefits are numerous, from mood-lifting aromatic scents to anti-ageing, firming,  moisturising and hygiene-giving, nutrient-giving, fitness-enhancing and comfort-cooling.

While the entire world was wondering how she did that, Kim was religiously following this diet, by restricting her carb intake to only 40 grams a day. So, what does this entail? A person following Atkins should be having four 6-ounce portions of proteins, six to eight portions of fiber-rich carbs and three portions of healthy fats in a day.

Millennials are delaying starting families but still seek companionship, and this need is driving a boom in pet ownership. Treating our animals as ‘fur babies’ means we want to strengthen our bonds by including them in our daily activities, including fitness.

With social equity in the spotlight, inclusive approaches to healing will be key. Sport England's We Are Undefinable campaign was created to inspire people with long-term health conditions to build physical activity into their lives, particularly post-pandemic.

The TikTok trend for showing off special items in the home, under the tags #housetour and #coolestthing, emphasises the importance of making this space personal and meaningful. As feminist writer and independent scholar Sara Ahmed says, the home is “about one’s hopes, a future place where one has not yet arrived and which might be related to an idealised past”.

Breathwork will become increasingly important. Our modern lives have lead us to unhealthy shallow breathing, meaning that everything from 'breathing properly' to Holotropic or yogic breathing will gain momentum.

With increasingly older populations, especially in Western countries, keeping fit has multiple benefits. Moderately paced workouts slotted into quieter times of the day such as mid-morning and afternoon would benefit gyms.

One study from the Building and Environment journal found there were unacceptably high levels of carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and particle pollution in indoor fitness centres. The majority of gym buildings recycle used air rather than filtering in air from the outside, which leads to a higher contained level of CO2 emitted from those exercising, and a prominence of particle matter from pounded mats and bags.

By learning how to control physical and psychological effects of stress using biofeedback, people are able to learn how to relax their minds and bodies and better cope with the symptoms of stress.

Now, Gen Z is changing the game once again.

While they piggyback on millennials’ views of holistic health, Gen Z was raised under political and economic turmoil, meaning they’re more pragmatic than their idealistic elders. Further, they are happy to leverage the latest tech to support their health, instinctively adopting everything from connected fitness to wearables. And unlike their privacy-protecting predecessors, Gen Z grew up with apps and are more willing to trade data for convenience.That is, they integrate health and wellness into their day-to-day life but, as digital natives, will heavily vet the brands they select into their routines.

Most Gen Zers grew up with a holistic perception of health, understanding the link between their physical, emotional and mental well being. They’re ready to try new cuisines and like to jump on the latest food trends. They’ll be the first to sample plant-based meats, make ethical dietary choices and challenge what's harming the environment. And thanks to their exposure from a young age, they’re embracing mindful activities, meditation, and sports as a means to socialize.

Healthcare gamification is defined as the process of applying game mechanics, gaming principles and design techniques to non-game applications so as to amplify the user engagement and substantial health related awareness. These largely incorporate daily trackers, progress bars and the capability to share results and also enabling users to socialize with peers. Largely, healthcare gamification has significantly influenced apps targeted for self-managed medication, fitness & nutrition, physical therapy as well as emotional health. With increasing smartphone usage and internet affordability, the demand has witnessed a spike in the recent years.

Neutrogena’s SkinScanner is a digital scanner that attaches to a smartphone and uses sensors, including 12 LED lights, a 30x magnification lens and moisture sensors on the edge of the camera, to provide a close-up image of the skin. Paired wirelessly with the Skin360 app, it offers insight into the user’s skin health and how they can improve it by measuring moisture levels, pore size and wrinkles.

Palacio Estoril Golf & Spa Hotel in Portugal offers a range of health and wellness treatments, including an intensive preventative health programme, alongside a team of specialist doctors, nutritionists and therapists.

Studies have proven that spending time connecting with nature can boost our immune systems, lower blood pressure, ease stress and improve mood, energy levels, sleep and ability to focus. And to top that, the phytoncides emitted by trees can cut the risk of cancer by encouraging a boost in natural killer cells and anticancer proteins.

Last year, more than 36 different hospitals partnered with big tech companies for various purposes. Some were looking for better cloud infrastructure to store patient data, while others displayed an interest in advanced tools. For example, Kettering Health Network and Premier Health partnered with Google's parent company Alphabet as part of a plan to build a tech-based rehabilitation center for patients addicted to opioids.

In general, these institutions all want to take advantage of at least one of two resources these technology companies provide — cloud data storage to support new health record systems and cutting-edge data analytics.

Exercise helps with both the physical and mental health problems associated with ageing. Studies have found a 20-30% lower risk of depression and anxiety in older adults exercising daily, and a boost in self-esteem.

We all want to 'get old', but nobody wants to be old. “I will be old later”. This is beginning to translate into just about every stage of life and every aspect of life. This trend is also increasingly visible in science. Geroscience is gaining importance and even promises to have a broader impact on our general health system. 

Within the hotel setting, robots have been used to offer room service and perform cleaning and other housekeeping chores. Meanwhile, restaurants can potentially use robots to carry out aspects of food service. This can be especially useful when dealing with restaurant customers who are trying to reduce close contact with people as much as possible.

This means that hospitality venues are being used as make-shift offices for bleisure travelers, as well as locals seeking a change of work environment. This is a great opportunity for hotels and F&B venues to capitilize on the trend and adapt their offering to meet the needs and wants of this emerging segment; ample plug sockets, free high-speed WIFI and great coffee are good starting points. 

If originality is the order of the day, the traditional checkerboard pattern looks set to make a comeback just about everywhere, from fingernails (+165% searches) to checkerboard tile floors (+5x searches). All of which shows a certain level of interest in retro trends among younger generations.
